Indy - what the?

OK every day I'm getting something more random happen on machines.

Yesterdays was on Indy - Hi - Lo clone

OK it's 166 off and note light on. What the hell? Have I missed hoppers getting bigger?

Anyway I'm getting a board - don't even know why (honestly) and it's all red.

Anyway a few all red boards so I'm off for it.

£40 in for feature - £35. Takes however much back and gives it again which goes for £70.

I'm thinking it might I.O.U. but it doesn't.

Then with remaining credits it spins me in a win and offers me fast cash in red.

Took it for 1 last bit of value and hit the first on £2.50 (oops) then the next shot is going upto £15. Eh? Surely it can't still be on.

But thinking it must be knocking on empty I go for it and hit £20

Thought it would surely I.O.U. now but it didn't. Checked it - £253 off and notey now off....

Wonder if it has a £350 hopper installed, ready for the £1/£70 upgrade? Possible, I guess...

Sounds about right. They've probably got units ready for a quick change over once the law gives the go ahead.

maybe it was refilled incorrectly at some point... eg. coins straight into the hopper.

Just proves that keying fruits with noteys is officially worthless...

I think he means no noteys being 'single' £125 hoppers and noteys being 'double' £250 hoppers...

i wouldnt say keying a 250 red is worthless,chain food pub daily float 250 hilo/indy say doors is at 12 and u get there for half 12 and its not full,id wanna know how much its off

Must have been a bigger hopper.
If a 250 machine pays out more than 250, it will still say 250 when you key it.

Well round here we call £125s single hoppers and noteys double hoppers.

I.E - I am going to do double hopper power 5.

I just wish note changers did not excist but they were £250 hoppers anyway with a small change machine in the pub courtesy of GamesTec or whichever supplier

that would be good dean,maybe then the toolers would crack on with the change machines n leave the fruits alone lol

trayhop123 · Post by **trayhop123** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 7:33 pm

thats actually a top idea dean ,,,,,,,, but sadly they wont do it , more callouts/agro/tooling etc for them , so they wont bother

Matt Vinyl · Post by **Matt Vinyl** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 7:47 pm

Yeah, good idea - but I think that's what noteys were bought in to 'replace'!

In other words, pubs etc. didn't want the hassle of change machines etc...
